3 Tips to Preparing and Storing Food Naturally

1. Use a Toaster Oven in Place of Your Microwave
* Microwaves cause the molecules in food to vibrate at high speeds, creating friction and heat that destroys healthy vitamins and enzymes.
* Microwaves reduce the nutritional value of all foods/beverages heated inside.
* The chemical alterations may cause lymphatic malfunctions, which affect the body’s immune response.
* Microwaves may form free radicals which are atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons. They become highly reactive and are associated with oxidative damage (aging and cell damage), which is why antioxidants are so important to health and healing.
* People ingesting microwaved food show a higher-than-normal percentage of cancer cells in their blood.
* Studies have shown that humans, animals, and plants that are located within a 500-meter radius of an operational microwave show a decreased function in vital energy.

2. Use Stainless Steel or Cast Iron Pans
* Aluminum and tephlon cookware has been connected with brain disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, behavior abnormality, poor memory and impaired motor/visual coordination.

3. Seek Out Alternatives to Plastic
* Use glass storage containers to store food, like Pyrex, that can go from your freezer directly to your oven.
* After purchasing food stored in plastic from the grocery store, remove and repackage in glass or ceramic that is lead free.
* Always recycle one-time plastic containers; don’t reuse.
* Use stainless steel or glass water bottles for every-day use.
* Store flour, sugar, and other pantry items in glass containers. (Try reusing finished containers of almond butter or pickles.)
* Use a wooden cutting board.
* Use a wooden spatula.
